Business Intelligence is designed and implemented to enable managers to make better business decisions. Business Intelligence provides metrics or numbers that reflect the organisation’s performance. At a high level this could be more profit, reduced costs or confirmation of adherence to laws, however does this reach as far as game changing strategies?

Part of the reason I am interested in this is because the value an organisation gets from Business Intelligence determines how much they will invest in it.

Themes

I saw a website called Ewal.net that I liked the look and feel of and contacted the guy behind it, he said the theme was based on Slash.

I started by installing Slash.

cd octopress
git clone git://github.com/tommy351/Octopress-Theme-Slash.git .themes/slash
rake install['slash']
rake generate
rake deploy

Create the project

Create new Integrator project

Create OEID data store

Copy the workspace.prm file from the quickstart application. Edit the workspace.prm file. Change the parameter DATA_STORE_NAME.
